Psychological inflexibility is a core concept in the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) model. The current study hypothesized and tested two models in which psychological inflexibility was linked with higher levels of depressive symptoms and sleep difficulty.
To attain data, Japanese university students (N = 633) completed questionnaires related to psychological inflexibility, depressive symptoms, and sleep difficulty. Psychological inflexibility was significantly correlated with higher levels of both depressive symptoms (r = 0.61) and sleep difficulty (r = 0.39). Structural equation modeling showed that psychological inflexibility was associated with higher levels of depressive symptoms after controlling for the effect of sleep difficulty. Additionally, psychological inflexibility was correlated with higher levels of sleep difficulty after controlling for the effect of depressive symptoms. These findings might assist with motivating clinicians to use ACT for insomnia.
The current study found that greater psychological inflexibility was linked with high levels of depressive symptoms and sleep difficulties. These findings might assist with motivating clinicians to use ACT for insomnia.
心理灵活性是接纳与承诺疗法(ACT)模型中的一个核心概念。本研究提出并检验了两个模型,其中心理灵活性与更高水平的抑郁症状和睡眠困难相关。
为获取数据,日本大学生(N = 633)完成了与心理灵活性、抑郁症状和睡眠困难相关的问卷调查。心理灵活性与更高水平的抑郁症状(r = 0.61)和睡眠困难(r = 0.39)均显著相关。结构方程模型表明,在控制睡眠困难的影响后,心理灵活性与更高水平的抑郁症状相关。此外,在控制抑郁症状的影响后,心理灵活性与更高水平的睡眠困难相关。这些发现可能有助于促使临床医生将ACT用于治疗失眠。
